No train came to-day, and none

The new snow.plow fitted with re-
volving blades will run over the road

will suffice to clear the track, and in

COl0rs Of the Sea.

The theory of Professor Tyndall
recognizes three principal hues in sea.
waves-blue, green aud yellow. Solid
particles held in the water act as mi.
mute mirrors rejecting the light which
penetrates the liquid. The rays which
are sent out after having traversed
only thin stratum of water preserve
their yellow parts; but if the re6ec-
tons are attenuated, the water ap-
pears green; and if they do not exist
at ali, the sea being clear and free
from the muddy matters, the color is
deep blue. In an indigo sea the crests
of waves will appear green on &C
count of their thickness. Sea-weed
animalcules and other local or acci
dental causes may have much influ
enoe on the color of the water.

A SNOWY BIvOUACK.
How a Brace Of Pluto Bucks Ast0nlshed
q PhilanthrOpic Resurrecti0nist

PhilanthrOpic Resurrectionist
A denizen of Sixmile Canyon, who
resides a short distance west of the
Nevada brewery, observed two Piute
bucks preparing to bivouac in the
snow last evening. They had but one
blanket between them, with which
they enveloped their persons carefully
covering their heads aud feet. They
then laid down in a hole burrowed in
the snow, and by twisting their per-
sons about succeeded in burying their
bodies to the depth of foot or more.
This morning the man who had OBJ.
served the Indians preparing their
bivouac, saw nothing to mark the spot
where they laid down the evening be-
fore except an elevation resembling a
grave. Thinking the bucks had per-
ished with cold during the night, he
sailed forth, armed with a shovel, foI
the purpose of exhuming their remains
The first thrust OF the shovel caused q
sudden movement of the mass resem
bling a snowy grave; accompanied
with an "Ugh" followed by the Piute'
rising to their feet and shaking the
snow from their blanket. Their
bodies were steaming with perspira
,ation in place of being frozen stiff, a
the philsn,hropic resurrectionist ex
pected to find them.-Eirginia (Nev.

A Very Hearty Eater.


Chicago Herald
"Bill Joncs's appetite for glass is
no more wonderful than Hank Ed
wards's appetite for metals" said the
old Calhoun place sport the other day.
81 have seen Edwards take a dozen
needles, break them in two, and then
swallow them at one gulp, Ten years
ago me and another fellow took Ed.
out on the road. At Warren, Ill.,, we
made bet with proprietor of the
hotel that Ed. could swallow a hun
dred lacks in 60 minutes There were
20 or 80 people in the saloon to see
the contest, and the stakes--$lO q
side, or $40 in which were in
coin, were lying Oh one end Of the
bar. Ed swallowed the tacks in the
prescribed time, and then, before
anyhody could stop him, he scooped
up the silver pieces and gulped them
down as though they had been chunks
of cheese. AS We were dead broke
Ed. was given enough emetics &c
sicken a horse, but he never gave ul
dime of the stakes, and we had tc
walk into Chicago from Warren
Ed. went West after that, and never
heard from him again until the othe
day, when he wrote me that he was il
HALEY, Idaho, and that he would
begin paying dividends as soon as hi
could get the coin out of his system.

The world in general. and its in-
habitsnts in particular, seem to be
losing all individuality. Perhaps it
is due to civilization that to be "good

stereotyped. At any rate, it is a re-
freshing change in the monotony Of
the social whirlpool to sec q little &c.
centricisy creep out now and then.
Not the eccentricity that is boorish
(horrible reference!-may the good
Lord forgive boors-it is too divine
to expect Of mortals), but the indi
vidual characteristic that is pleasing
by its diversity. Just think: the

Now that silhouette parties are the
rage, the girl of the period signs for a
Grecian nose. One young woman
with a nose "tip-tilted like flower
had always secuted the novelist's idea
that a Greciap nose would convert a
howell into palace, but nowadays she
is d:smally droopful and quiet on the
subject. She had her silhouette
drawn with great care, and the profile
was extremely suggestive of Celtic
extraction, and here she is thorough
going Knickeroocker.

That reminds me of a joke-at
least they that saw it said it was a
joke-perpetrated by another of the
legal fraternity, and that, too, at the
expense of dominic. The railroad
is responsible for it by not supplying
the new depot With seats for the long
suffering public. The other night,
when the train was so delayed on its
return trip from Ketchum Ohe TIMES
man claimed the delay was due to the
sybari,ic appetite Of the Railroad
superintendent, the waiting room
was filled with impatient passengers
who beguiled the hours by pacing ur
and down like Gagged animals, because
there were but four chairs, which
could not very we'll accommodate the
score of travellers. Three of these
seat. were occupied by ladies, the
other by the aforesaid divine. Sud
denly, with a characteristic dash, thu
lawyer rushed in, grabbed his grip
| sack, and shouted Here she isl" The
weary walters all rushed for the
door, whereupon the diplomatic dis
ciple of Blackstone dropped into thu
pastors chair.

1t is painful to hear Miss Cleve-
lands latest poem SO universally and
scathingly satirized. But the worst,
the very worst criticism that ever
came under my notice was that pro-
nounced by one of our legal lights.
He had photograph taken of his
rooms, which are considered a sym
phony Of coloring and elegance, and
as an accessory to the luxurious whole
he himself posed in a spacious chat,
with book in his hands. Upon
showing this very pretty picture to 9
friend for his undivided opinion, the
friend thought it very fine. The one
little flaw was in the classic face o.
this expounder OF the law, which the
critic declared looked too old. "Nt
wonder l look ancient; | was reading
Rose Cleveland's last effusion," wa
the excuse for the seeming presence
of age.

What strange ideas and ambitions
different people have supposing that
they were rich. One old buffalo
hunter, true to his Unborn instinct,
said with earnestness that If he were
worth a million dollars he would buy
two good ponies and go hunting up in
the Big Horn mountains.
While we have lot lost any bears We
would of course enjoy such an excur-
sion. but 1t seems that outside OF graft
flying u personal tastes, with o mil
lion dollsrs we would become q public
b~enefactor. We would bring help and
happiness to Others. we would by Inc
direct means make a whole town
smile. What wouldn't a million do.
lars do for a town like ours, or ven its
influence which could be brought to
bear In many ways. W. would es-
tablish manufacturing and other in
dustries which would not be depressed
by the coolest winters that could visit
Us. We would irrigate the soil, SO that
hundreds of farmers would settle In
our midst and with their thrift make a
solid mercantile trade. What q
chance for q public library to educate
the expanding minds. Was there
ever q better chance to make and i'm.
prove q public park In our midst?
These are but few Of the many Quix-
otto schemes that the writer thinks Of
at present. very generous, but the
reality would be like all the rest Of
human kind, no doubt end in selfish
ness and avarice. On the quiet we
believe that the first east bound train
would have us on board as q passenger.
